GOVERNOR.

Application filed April 13, 1925. Serial No. 22,889.

The main object of this invention is to provide a novel type of governorfor all types of power-engines. This governor uses a pair of fulcrumedlevers which describe an angular action and are driven by and drivecrank shafts, one of the crank shafts transmitting rotational power to aload equalizer wheel.

Another object is to provide a governor having fulcrumed levers whosebalance may be adjusted by a novel type of. weight which may be movedlengthwise on the levers.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the descriptionbelow, it which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in thedrawing.

Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevational viewof the device.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same.

Figure 3 is a cross sectional view thru the balancing weight, showingthe method of moving the same to various positions on the lever.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral indicates a base fromwhich posts 11 and 12 extend vertically upward. These posts are integralwith the base and are arranged in pairs, each pair having a spacebetween them to provide room for insertion of blocks 13 in which levers14 and 15 are rigidly mounted. The posts 11 and 12 have bushings 16mounted in their upper ends, and in these bushings, studs 17 are r0-tatably mounted, said studs projecting from the sides of the blocks 13into the bushings 16. Each of the lovers 14 and 15 have the blocks 13mounted rigidly thereon near one end in such manner that the levers arefulcrumed in the saddle formed by the blocks, the blocks being anchoredon the levers near one of the ends. Below the short ends of the levers14 and 15, a pair of arms 18 eX- tend vertically upwardly and arespacedapart from each other to provide a bearing at both ends of a shaft19 having oppositely disposed crank arms 20 and 21 formed integraltherewith. The. crank arm 20 is connected to the lever 14 by a link 22and the opposite crank arm 21 is connected to the other lever by a link23. One end of the shaft 19 has a fly wheel 24 mounted thereon andadjacent this fly wheel, a pulley 25 is anchored which is driven by aband 26 connected to some rotating wheel or pulley of the engine or amachine to which this governor is attached. The upper edges of the longends of the levers 14 and. 15 are provided with V-shaped teeth 27 and onthe outer sides of these levers, a line of serrations 28 extendslongitudinally on the face thereof. A hollow block 29 is slidablymounted on each of the long ends of the fulcrum'ed levers 14 and 15 andon one side of these levers, lugs 30 eXtend'in which the spindle 31 of aroller 32 is rotatably anchored. The outer peripheries of these rollersare serrated and one half of the roller passes thru a slit 33 in thebody of the hollow block and the serrated peripheries tangentiallyengage the serrations 28 on the levers 14 and 15. Mounted on the top ofthe hollow blocks 29 are resilient fingers 34 which project from one endof the blocks and these projecting ends are formed into tooth-likeprojections 35 which are adapted to engage with the portions 27 andreleasably position the blocks in the desired position. A right angledresilient blade 36 is anchored on the side of the upper lugs 30 of thehollow blocks 29 and the ends of the blades are adapted to extenddownwardly and engage the serrated periphery of the roller 32 to preventthe same from inadvertently moving when not desired. Beneath the ends ofthe long portions of the fulcruined levers, a plate bracket 37 ismounted from which a pair of posts 38 and 39 extend upwardly. A crankshaft 40 having one crank 41 diametrically opposite the other crank 42is rotatably mounted. These cranks 41 and 42 are connected to the longends of the fulorumed levers 14 and 15 by links 43 and 44 which arepivotally anchored to both the fulcrumcd levers and the cranks 41 and42. The end of the crank shaft 40 has a fly wheel 45 rigidly securedthereto- The device is adapt-ed to serve as a governor for any type ofrotating or power machines. The pulley 25 is hitched to the machinewhich is to be governed by a belt 26. The shaft 19 is driven by thepulley and rotates the cranks 20 and 21 which in turn impart areciprocating motion to the links 22 and 23. These links being pivotedto the short ends of the fulcrumed levers l4 and 15, arcuately swing thelatter and rotate the crank shaft 40 whose cranks 41 and 42 areconnected to the long ends of the fulcrumed levers 14 and 15 by thelinks 43 and 44. The balance of the fulcrurned levers may be ad justedthru shifting of the hollow blocks 22 thereon. These hollow blocks 29are shifted longitudinally on the fulcrumed levers 14 and 15 by rotatingthe rollers 32 Whose serrated peripheries engage in the lunar serrations28 formed on the fulorumed levers 14c and 15. As the hollow blocks arebeing moved on the fulcrumed levers, the tooth like projection 35 on theresilient linger 34L rides over the teeth 27, and when the hollow blockcomes to rest, the tooth-like projections 35 releasably lock the hollowblocks in that position on the levers.

I claim In a governor having fulcrumed levers, lever balancing meanscomprising blocks adapted to be adjusted longitudinally on said levers,said levers having a linear line of serrations extending longitudinallythereon intermediate their width, said blocks comprising hollow membersslidably mounted on the fulcrumed levers, rollers rotatably mounted inthe sides of the blocks, the peripheries of said rollers being serrated,the serrated peripheries of the rollers engaging the serrations on thelevers to move the hollow blocks longitudinally thereon, lingers mountedon said blocks, teeth on one edge of said .tulcrumed levers, fingers onsaid blocks, one end, of said fingers projecting fromzthe blocks andengaging said teeth on the fulcrumed bar to releasably secure saidhollow blocks in position on the lever.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

PAUL LOESSEL.
